Does anyone ever call an automated phone system these days without being warned that "our menu options have recently changed"?

nah. They're just trying to get you to listen to the options. Which you wouldn't have to do if there was a PERSON on the ohter end of the phone.

I've spent the day being pissed off by Rush Limbaugh and my ultra-conservative coworker, and now I want to go home and cry and cry and start packing to move to another country.

I don't know about the uc-cow worker, but don't let that impotent gas bag bother you.

Cool ring.

Dude, I know! The language can seriously knock a buzzard off a shitwagon. I barely notice anymore; I almost wish it was a few years ago with stepmonster trying to make a debutante of me so I could get the full mileage of it. My mom's not really thrilled by the thought I might greet somebody with "cocksucker" but, you know... Yeah, the McShane performance is kind of amazing in general, ita. I hate Al in lots of ways, but I have to watch him. And that thing with Wu? Really hilarious."I'm so glad I taught you that word." Corwood: Austin cocksucker!

I was just amazed by the amount and that it was distracting. I mean, I am pretty fouled mouthed myself, or at least have been in different times of my life.

It sort of reminds me of the time in acting class when I had to take my shirt off for a scene. There were 5 people in the class and 2 of them were in my scene, and I had a nice body then and I didn't think of myself as modest. And then I thought I was going to die of embarrassment.

Not that I am embarrassed about the swearing, just surprised at my own prudishness which I tend to forget I have.

I've kind of gotten used to it. At least for Deadwood. If I went down to party headquarters and found everyone talking like that I might still be appalled.

I got my Pinky and the Brain and my Anamaniacs DVDs today.

I think I know what I am doing tonight.

Same thing you do every night?

Exactly!

I was startled by stuff in episode 4, and so went to wikipedia. Interesting.

I was shocked to learn recently that the Indian head incident is both factually and temporally accurate. I'd just assumed it was a Milchean conceit, but one of my friends hit on a passage describing the tracker bringing the head into camp and derailing McCall's lynch mob.

I was very sad to see

I think you'll enjoy what's going to happen to Alma now.

Secret message to Erika: Swedgin!

Oh, by the time you've hit the fourth or fifth absolutely brilliant Swearingen blowjob soliloquy, you'll forget you ever even wrote this.
